Qasim Rashid, Esq.

Without explanation, YouTube has removed my interview about Israel's genocide on Palestine with globally renowned Palestinian-Canadian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu. We are appealing.

Here's the full interview on my human rights newsletter. Share widely: https://www.qasimrashid.com/p/youtube-removed-my-interview-on-gaza

@QasimRashid That's the problem of using US corporate owned platforms. What they call moderation is censorship to align with Trump's unreasonable demands. We all need to boycott all such platforms.

@QasimRashid btw. Have you also hosted it on other services? Like Peertube?

This tragic situation might get a silver lining if it could be used to direct people to platforms more resilient to random censorship.

@QasimRashid Substack won't let me view the video either. Have you considered hosting this type of content on #PeerTube ?

@QasimRashid I haven't left facebook yet, so I will post this on facebook. The U.S. now has an economy based on genocide - selling bombs, guns, and ammunittion to Israel for billions of dollars. Not so different from when invaders from Europe killed millions of buffalo in an effort to starve First Nations.
